 Karthigai appam recipe a traditional sweet made for many occassions especially Karthigai Deepam.Karthigai appam recipe

Karthigai appam recipe with step by step photos and video. Sweet appam made with raw rice and jaggery is one of the easiest appam that we make for Karthigai deepam. Make this easy sweet appam for any occassion and enjoy.

Karthigai deepam is one festival that I look forward to every year. Right from lighting lamps, decorating the house with it and making batchanams such as pori urundai, nei appam, karthigai pori, karthigai appam etc I love everything about this festival. I love making and ofcourse eating all traditional sweets particularly the ones made with jaggery. In addition kids love all types of appam so its a motivation for me to try new varieties.

FAQ’s:

What type of jaggery to use?

You can use any type of jaggery either powdered or the block ones. You can use paagu vellam too, the jaggery variety you use decides the color of the appams.

What if my batter goes too runny after adding jaggery syrup?

Add little rice flour or wheat flour to make batter consistency as needed but do not add more. It will change the texture of the appams and it will not be soft,

Can I fry karthigai appam in paniyaram pan?

Incase if you are not comfortable with deep frying, then you can use paniyaram pan to make these appams.

Can I make appam without soaking, grinding?

This recipe is meant for soaking and grinding. But you can try my no soaking, grinding instant nei appam recipe alternatively.

About karthigai appam recipe:

  • Soak and grind raw rice and grind it along with banana,cardamom to a thick batter.
  • Take jaggery and water in a pan, strain to remove impurities with no consistency checks. Set aside to cool completely.
  •  Strain and add jaggery syrup. Grind it to a thick batter, sprinkle water if needed. Make batter flowing for instance like dosa batter consistency.
  • Heat oil – add batter using deep curved laddle and deep fry them until reddish brown on both sides.
  • To summarize the karthigai appam recipe steps – soak,grind raw rice along with banana, make jaggery syrup mix to form a batter. Finally pour in preheated oil and deep fry them.
